Endurance, Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

The Way We Live Now

by
Anthony Trollope

A great masterpiece of storytelling, and a very sharp portrayal of the social, business, and political life in London in the late 19th century. The plot centers on a charismatic financier (the Donald Trump of his day?), and his -- and everyone else's -- desperate desire for social advancement. Along the way, the reader is treated to a marvelous view of London life.
